The AOC series of push-button mobile phones has entered the Russian market and occupies a special position among the eight models. TPV A248 – A device designed for those who spend a lot of time outside of their home or office. Let’s figure out what a phone can do and who will need it.
Why you should care about models
The AOC A248 is designed for those who need to stay connected for extended periods of time when regular cell phones, especially smartphones, cannot. The main argument in favor of this model is the battery, which can last up to 69 days in standby mode. In addition to this, the rugged chassis is designed to withstand harsh environments and supports dual SIM cards in standby mode, which is very convenient for users who use different carriers or travel to areas with unreliable coverage. The chance of one of the two getting caught is greater than with just one SIM card.
The phone charges via the common USB Type-C port, so you don’t need to find a special cable. At the same time, the device remains compact and lightweight, weighing just over 120 grams, making it easy to slip into a work jacket pocket or toss into a bag. The AOC A248 retails for approximately 1,890 rubles, which makes the phone an affordable option for everyday purchase or as a backup/additional device.
The AOC A248 has a candy bar form factor, which is typical of this type of work phone. Device dimensions – 136.2 × 57.8 × 15.8 mm, weight – 123.6 g. The phone’s body is reinforced and designed for use in harsh conditions: construction sites, summer houses, outdoor recreation, away from civilization, production and other places where there is a risk of damage to your smartphone.
The front panel contains a screen and a keyboard with large buttons. The camera and Type-C charging port are on the back, so you always have the right cables at your disposal.
The phone supports two mini-SIM cards in standby mode, as well as a microSD memory card of up to 32 GB (the card is not included in the package).
The main feature of the AOC A248 is its 2500 mAh battery. According to the manufacturer, a charge can last up to 1,667 hours in standby mode – that’s about 69 days, or more than two months of use without a power outlet. In talk mode, the phone can work for up to 28 hours – more than a day, which is impressive.
For comparison: most smartphones have enough power for a day, or two at most. In this sense, AOC A248 can be used as a tool when the smartphone is out of battery, lost or inconvenient to take out. You should keep your phone close at hand when you’re on a construction site, in a villa, working a shift or traveling long distances – places where it’s not possible to charge the device regularly.
The indicators indicated are obtained under laboratory conditions with a fully charged battery and Bluetooth turned off. With frequent use (calls, radio, Bluetooth on), the battery life will be shortened, but the device will still have plenty of power.
AOC A248 is equipped with a 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 240×320 pixels and is based on a TFT matrix. For a basic push-button phone, such a display is sufficient: dialing numbers, reading messages and using menus does not pose any difficulties.
The keyboard sits below the screen and is designed for reliable tactile response – which is important if you’re wearing gloves or using the phone in cold conditions, as touch screens don’t work well or at all.
The AOC A248 has a 0.3-megapixel camera – a moderate resolution that’s usually found on button phones like this. The camera can take photos of documents or phone numbers; it’s not suitable for more serious tasks.
Other features include FM radio, alarm clock, calendar, calculator and phone book. There are no apps or services pre-installed on the phone, so the menus remain simple and straightforward. The operating system is an RTOS, designed specifically for such devices: it does not require updates and does not start to slow down over time.
This phone is aimed primarily at those for whom equipment reliability is as important as uptime: builders, summer residents, production workers. The reinforced case is more likely to withstand falls, dust, and dirt, and a charge will last for weeks.
besides, TPV A248 Suitable for:
- If the main smartphone runs out of battery or malfunctions, it can be used as a daily backup phone;
- Not being able to keep charging your device while on a business trip or vacation;
- It’s like a schoolchild’s first mobile phone – a simple and cheap device without social networks and unnecessary functions, but with long-term autonomy and the ability to communicate with parents.
- For fishermen, hunters, and tourists, a strong hull and the ability to stay connected throughout the rest of your stay away from civilization are especially important.
